The  images  appearing  here  are  the  best  quality 
possible  considering  the  condition  and  legibility 
of  the  original  copy  and  in  keeping  with  the 
filming  contract  specifications. 


Original  copies  in  printed  paper  covers  are  filmed 
beginning  with  the  front  cover  and  ending  on 
the  last  page  with  a  printed  or  illustrated  impres- 
sion, or  the  back  cover  when  appropriate.  All 
other  original  copies  are  filmed  beginning  on  the 
first  page  with  a  printed  or  illustrated  impres-

or  illustrated  impression. 


The  last  recorded  frame  on  each  microfiche 
shall  contain  the  symbol  — ^>  (meaning  "CON- 
TINUED"), or  the  symbol  V  (meaning  "END"), 
whichever  applies. 

Maps,  plates,  charts,  etc.,  may  be  filmed  at 
different  reduction  ratios.  Those  too  large  to  be 
entirely  included  in  one  exposure  are  filmed 
beginning  in  the  upper  loft  hand  corner,  left  to 
right  and  top  to  bottom,  as  many  frames  as 
required.  The  following  diagrams  illustrate  the 
method:

KADKRS  of  the  SiANDAkn  are  already  aware

lager;  at  the  same  time  in  its  get  up  bearing  in 
mind  the  .lecessities  of  pleasure  as  well.  Keeping 
in  mind  the  two-fold  purpose  of  business  and  pleas- 
ure, no  pains  or  e.xpense  has  been  spared  in  the 
building  and  fitting  out  of  the  new  craft ;  and  a  re- 
sult has  been  accomplished  of  which  Syracuse  may 
well  be  i)rou(l  as  the  "home"  of  the  .l/j/iic  Laurie, 
as  well  ^is  iJuffalo,  the  jilace  of  her  building — as  will

After  a  short  ride  the  party  arrived  at  Cayuga,  where 
the  beautiful  steamer  Annie  Laurie  was  in  waiting  to 
con%ey  them  up  the  lake.  Without  delay  the  e.xc  ur- 
sionists  embarked,  the  whistle  sounded,  and  the 
staunch  little  steamer  started  on  her  voyage.  The 
morning  was  a  most  delightful  one.  the  air  was  cool 
and  exhilirating,  and  the  party  were  in  the  best  of 
spirits  in  anticipations  of  pleasure  that  were  realized 
in  the  fullest  measure.  Mr.  (Ireenway  never  does

possesses  a  sijccial    interest    for  Syracusans,    aside 
from  its  sjiecial  attractions  of  si  encry  and    locality. 
It  is  here  that  Cornell  University  is   located,   whose 
President  is  a  ciJi/en   of  Syracuse,   in  whom   Syra- 
cus-'is  justly  take  i)riile.     We   were  very  agreeahly 
(lisai)i)ointed    with    Ithaca,    and    more    partii  ularly 
with  Cornell  University.     The  villa<^e  is  a   prosper- 
ous, thriving  town,  whose  streets  bustle  with    at  tivi- 
tv,  and   whose    business   i)laces  denote  a  thrift  and 
prosperity    rarely    found    in    inland    vil'ages.     The 
crowning  attraction  of  the   place  is,   of  course,  the 
university.     Our  stay  was  necessarily  brief,  and  our 
observations  but  limited,  and  yet   enough   was  seen 
to  convin(  e  one   that    I'resident  White   is   the   right 
man  in  the  right  place.     His  rare  e.xecutive    ability 
is  seen  in  the  admirable   discipline   that  character- 
izes the  institution.   His  ajsthetical  taste  is  displayed 
in  the  artistic  embellishments  of  the  various  depart- 
ments, while  the  rare  and   costly   gems  of  art    that 
crowd  each  other  in  their  appropriate  places  denote 
the  rare    accomplishments   of  the   cultured    scholar 
and  the  refined  gentleman.     .Mthough  the  college  is 
new  in  years,  it  is  superior  to  older  institutions  in 
rich  collections    of  works   of  art,  in  a   magnificent 
library,  in    scientific    appa.itus,    a^.d    in  everything 
that  aids  or  illustrates  the  lecture  or  the   text    book.

The  excursionists  were  fortun:itt'  in  finding  i'resi-

a  genial  and  cordial  welcome.  His  home  is  most 
delighttully  located  on  tlie  summit'of  the  liill,  over- 
looking the  university  and  a  panorama  beb  w,  whic  h 
is  hardly  ci|ualecl  in  the  world.  A  half  b(iur  was 
most  agreeably  spent  in  the  enjoyment  of  the  hos- 
pitalities of  President  White  and  family,  and  the 
party  reluctantly  returned  to  the  steamlxiat  landing, 
summoned  In  the  whistle  of  the  Aiiiiir    Laurie.

The  ride  back  to  Cayuga  was  even  more  delight- 
ful than  the  trip  uj)  the  lake.  Quite  a  bree/e  was 
blowing,  and  a  good  sea  was  running.  'I'he  staunch 
little  steamer  rode  tlie  waxes  as  gracefullv  as  a  thin'' 
of  life.  (lr()U])ed  over  the  decks  and  in  tlie  c  abins 
the  excursionists  gave  themselves  up  thoroughly  to 
the  enjoyment  of  the  magnificent  jianorama,  spread 
out  before  them  on  both  sides  of  the  lake.  Words 
are  inadecpiate  to  convey  any  idea  of  the  beauty  of 
('ayuga  lake.  Its  shores  are  lined  with  ric  h  farms, 
whose  well-kept  fences,  buildings  and  houses,  de- 
note the  thrift  and  industry  of  the  inhabitants  that 
dwell  thereon.  Later  in  the  evening  the  moon  rose, 
and  silvered  the  dark  waters  of  the  lake,  and  the 
ripples  that  feathered  from  the  bow  of  the  Aniiir 
l.iuric,  glistened  under  her  brigb.t  beams  like  dia- 
monds in  the  sunlight. 

Cayuga  was  reached  at  half-past  eight  o'c  lock, 
and  there  the  excursionists  took  the  cars  for  (iene- 
va,  the  boat  proc:eeding  by  the  river  and  canal.  .\t

proud  of  such  a  citizen.  He  came  there  a  poor

M'emod  to  he  to  enable  his  fellow  t  itizens  to  enjoy 
uith  itiiii  his  fortune,  and  he  was  neviT  so  hapjjy  .is 
wluMi  I  oiitribiiting  to  the  happiness  of  others.  Sik  h 
a  mail  was  an  lioiior  to  himself,  and  an  Imnor  to 
tile  ((imiminity  in  whit  h  he  lived.  It  was  not  for 
the  s|)i'aker  to  recount  the  many  a(  ts  of  generosity 
and  kindness  to  his  fellow-men  liiat  hal  endeared 
Jdiin  CkKKNWAV  to  the  (  iti/.ens  of  Sy.acuse.  His 
charity  and  his  generosits  were  exeri  ised  in  a  ipiiet 
and  unostentatious  manner  that  were  entirely  (  liar- 
acterisiic  of  the  man.  and  yet  like  bread  t  ast  upon 
the  waters  bore  their  fruit,  and  John  (IkKKN way's 
reward  is  the  esteem,  respe(  t  and  honor  in  which  he 
is  held  by  his  fellow  citizens. 

We  are  indebted  to  this  man  of  noble  heart  for 
two  days  of  pleasure,  unalloyed  by  a  siugle  thing 
whi(  h  might  mar  the  hapjiiness  (jf  any.  To  the 
speaker  the  day  |).issed  on  Sencc  a  Lake  had  been 
one  of  the  most  enjoyalile  of  his  life.  Old  at  (|uain- 
tances  had  been  renewed  and  old  friendships  iiad 
been  freshly  cemented.  He  sjioke  in  a  double  ca- 
pacity, to  convey  the  thanks  of  the  party  to  Mr. 
(Iki-.knw  AY  for  the  opportunity  of  enjoyment  which 
the  excursion  had  afforded,  and  to  t onvey  to  the 
excursionist  in  behalfof  Mr.  (Ikkknwav  his  sincere 
appreciation  of  the  kind  expressions  that  had  been 
madt'  concerning  him. 

Mr.  White's  address  was  a  most  hajipy  effort  and 
was  characterized  by  a  sincerity  and  warmth  of  feel- 
ing that  were  i)articularly  impressive. 

Mr.  Charles  K.  Fitch,  in  behalfof  the  press,  ex- 
pressed the  th.'.nks  of  the  fraternity  for  the  generous

steamer  was  moored,  she  having  reached  (ieneva 
about  two  o'clock,  prejiaratory  to  embarking  for  the 
trip  for  Watkins  (ilen. 

.\t  9:20  the  whistle  sounded  and  "all  aboard"  was 
the  order.  Soon  alter  the  steamer  was  olT,  amid  the

and  subsecpiently  ran  into  ilie  dock  at   Ovid.      Here 
an  hour  was  spent  in   visiting    the    WiUard    Asylum

The  moonlight  ride  from  Ovid  to  C.eneNa  was 
hugely  enjoyd  by  the  exc  ursionists,  the  surround- 
ings being  esi)ecially  adapted  to  human  enjoyment. 
Smooth  water,  a  clear  sky,  bright  moonlight,  a  fast 
craft,  a  goodly  and  appreciative  company,  were 
sufficient  inducements  to  cause  a  general  wish  that 
the 'lour  might  be  prolonged  indefinitely.  J5ut  the 
fast-going  craft  brought  the  delightful  tri])  to  an  end.

/  r,  the  fastest  tug  on  the  lake,  came  out  for  a  race. 
'I'he  Annie  Lanric  was  unprepared,  and  vet,  she 
easily  beat  her  adversary. 

At  Oswego,  large  crowds  congregated  on  the 
bridges  and  the  docks  to  welcome  the  return  of  the 
Annie  Luinie.  Flags  were  disjdayed  on  the  shi]jping, 
and  the  utmost  excitement  jjrevailed.  The  Annie 
Laurie,  with  the  Union  Jack  at  her  bow  and  the 
Stars  and  Strijjcs  at  the  stern,  attracted  more  atten- 
tion than  any  craft  that  ever  entered  the  port  at 
Oswego.  Sunday  night  the  party  reached  Fhctnix, 
where  they  became  the  guests  of  Mr.  C.eorge  O. 
iJreed  and  other  gentlemen  from  the  village.  At 
seven  o'clock  Monday  morning,  the  Annie  Laurie 
started  for  home,  reaching  the  packet  dock  at  a  few 
minutes  before  twelve  o'clock.  From  Salina  to 
Syracuse  the  little  steamer  attracted  crowds  of  peo- 
ple, who  welcomed  the  safe  return  of  the  party  with 
repeat-d  cheers.  The  band  played  "Sweet  Home," 
and  the  steamer  touched  the  dock,  with  the  British 
and  American  flags  floating  from  her  mast  head. 
As  the  party  disembarked  they  were  met  by  rela- 
tives and  friends,  and    warm    congratulations    were

and  Millard,  stating  their  regrets  in  not  being  able 
to  respond  to  the  invitation  by  being  present  on 
this  occasion.  .\t  .ibout  half-pist  nine  the  steamer 
left  the  do<k,  and  shortly  after  she  turned  Into  tfie 
Oswego  canal,  passing  through  Salina  and  I.iver- 
|)ool,  and  into  the  deep  waters  of  Seneca  River,  at 
"Mud  Lock."  It  was  here  that  the  little  cralt 
displayed  her  jiowers  of  speed,  as  she  was  not  in- 
terrupted by  a  shallow  channel,  or  other  obstacles, 
and  as  the  vessel  glided  along  at  the  rate  of  twebc 
to  fourteen  knots  per  hour,  the  si  ene  became  e\-* 
citing  and   exhilerating  to  all  on  board.

and  puffs,  and  glided  along  with     nearly    her    usual 
speed  until  they    arrived    at  "   Three  River    Point." 
It  is  at  this  place  where  a  junction  is  formed  of  the 
Oneida  and  Seneca  rivers,  and  which  is  the  head  ot 
the  Oswego  Kiver. 

■fe-ii-ung-her-ka  is  the  original  name  of  this  place, 
and  is  interesting  to  those  who  li  ive  studied  the  his-

their  deity,  who  jjresides  over  fisheries  and  hunting 
grounds,  who  came  down  from  above  in  his  white 
canoe  and  selected  a  couple  of  warriors  from  among 
the  On(mdagas  to  proceed  with  him  up  the  river 
from  Oswego,  and  remove  all  ol)slru(  lions,  so  that 
canoes  might  pass  in  safety.  .\s  the  tradition  goes, 
they  proceeded  on  until  reaching  "  Three  River

(  enluries  ago.  In  a  short  time  after  leaving  this 
lo(  ality  the  vi-ssel  (hanged  its  course,  and  pro- 
ceeded up  the  outlet  and  into  ( )nondag.i  Lake.  The

waters  of  the  "  ra;;ing  canal,"  and  started  on  her 
long    anticipated   cruise  to  the    "  great  nietroi)olis." 

Perhaps,  however,  it  would  be  proper  lor  me  to 
preface  these  remarks  with  the  statement,  that  for 
some  time,  our  liberal  hearted  citizen,  "  ( 'ommodore' 
|()HN  riRKKNWAV  had  cont-'Uiplated  visiting  New 
York  with  a  few  favored  friends,  in  his  new  steam 
yacht,  christened  as  above,  for  the  purjjose  of  a 
pleasure  trip,  with  a  little  touch  of  l)iisincss  in- 
cUuled.  The  20tii  day  of  October  had  been  named 
,i.s  the  time — wind  and  weather  permitting — for  the

Hudson  River  R.  R.,)  and  proceeding  down  the 
Hudson  with  its  cargo  of  choice  spirits. 

Starting  from  the  packet  boat  docic  on  Saturday, 
the  ifth  inst.,  at  about  12:30.  i'  m.,  in  the  presence  of 
a  goodly  crowd  of  spectators,  and  with  the  best  wishes 
of  all  for  tlie  success  of  the  trip,  :ihe  reached  the  uji- 
per  level,    clearing  the  last    lock  -it  1:30  i>.  m. 

Overcoming  the  detention  caused  by  a  crowd  of 
boats  and  the  still  greater  annoyance  of  a  triplicate  of 
locks,  tlie  boat,  on  reaching  the  "long  level,"  sped 
like  a  free  bird.  At  1:50  we  reached  "Thompson's," 
where,  taking  in  a  supply  of  the  famous"  Cold  Spring 
water,"  we  proceeded  on  our  trip,  reaching  Kirkville 
at  3:30,  Chiltenango  4:20,  (where  we  landed  our  lady 
Ijiassengers,)  reaching  New  London  (what  a  misno- 
mer!) at  8:30,  where  we  tied  up  for  the  night,  the 
crew  pr()<eeding  to  their  quarters  on  the  boat  and  I 
10  mine,  at  a  country  tavern  hard  by. 

At  5:30  A.  M.  (Sunday)  the  whistle  of  the  Laurie 
sounded,  <■  ailing  all  hands  to  duty,  and  giving  no- 
tice of  iier  departure. 

Rain,  in  considerable  iiuantity,  had  fallen  during 
the  night,  and  the  prospect  over  head  bid  fair  for  a 
dismal  day. 

At  6:30  A.  M,  we  reached  Rome,  although  not 
the  seven-hilled  mistress  of  the  world,  yet  the  Capi- 
tou'line  city(.')of  this  region,  with  its  "pontoon 
marshes"  and  other  surroundiugs  of  interest  to  the 
reader  of  ancient  history !  Paying  the  collector  of 
this  port  the  customary  official  visit,  to  have  our

cliaractc'-  of  th^-  scenery  tlirough  which  wc  \\\\\v 
passed — monotonous.  ( )iir  sjieed  has  averaged  about 
five  miles  per  hour,  the  machinery  and  everything 
on  hotrd  working  charmingh-. 

n. 

Having  called  upon  the  collector  at  this  ^Vmv 
and  our  papers  being  inspected  and  found  "all  right 
and  according  to  law,"  and  the  official  autogra|)h 
being  affixed  thereto,  we  were  allowed  "to  depart  in 
l)eace,"  as  our  waywnrd  sisters  were  advised  to  do 
previous  to  the  rebellion,  and  resume  our  journey. 
.\fter  leaving  Utica  the  country  changes  for  the  bet- 
ter. Leaving  behind  us  the  low,  level  lands,  we 
reach  a  more  rolling  and  better  agricultural  region. 
The  rain  has  ceased  and  the  clouds  are  gradually 
breaking  away,  and  all  betokens  a  change  for  tiie 
better.  Our  next  sto|i  will  i)e  Little  Fall.s,  known 
as  long  the  residence  of  that  railroad  wiseacre,  Maj. 
Priest,  and  as  a  town  built  upon  a  "solid"  founda- 
ncii.  This  place  was  once  known  as  a  great  "dia- 
nnn^l  market,"  and  many  of  your  readers  will  un- 
doubtedly recollect  the  army  of  "small  boys"  who 
formerly  thronged  the  cars  with  hands  full  of  (puirtz 
crystals,  crying  "Diamonds,  Diamonds,  sir;  only 
five  cents."  Here  we  are  again  to  have  our  passes 
"viewed"  by  that  public  functionary,  the  collector, 
and  then  start  again  for  our  destination.

that  arch  traitor,  Benedict  Arnold,  and  the  vvhole  ter-

dinner  service  was  one,  I  i)resiime,  from  which  many

possible  considering  the  condition  and  legibility 
of  the  original  copy  and  in  keeping  with  the 
filming  contract  specifications. 


Original  copies  In  printed  paper  covers  are  filmed 
beginning  with  the  front  cover  and  ending  on 
the  last  page  with  a  printed  or  illustrated  Impres- 
sion, or  the  back  cover  when  appropriate.  All 
other  original  copies  are  filmed  beginning  on  the 
first  page  with  a  printed  or  illustrated  impres- 
sion, and  ending  on  the  last  page  with  a  printed 
or  illustrated  impression. 


The  last  recorded  frame  on  each  microfiche 
shall  contain  the  symbol  — ►  (meaning   "CON- 
TINUED"), or  the  symbol  V  (meaning  "END' ). 
whichever  applies. 

Maps,  plates,  charts,  etc.,  may  be  filmed  at 
different  reduction  ratios.  Those  too  large  to  be 
entirely  included  in  one  exposure  are  filmed 
beginning  in  the  upper  left  hand  corner,  left  to 
right  and  top  to  bottom,  as  many  frames  as 
required.  The  following  diagrams  illustrate  the 
method:
